Douyin E-commerce Cracks Down on “Phone Top-Up Fraud,” Removes 25 Violators
Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, is combating fraud targeting users of its mobile phone recharge service. A data leak stemming from vendor supply chain issues led to phishing scams where users were pressured to refund “errors.” Douyin has removed 25 non-compliant vendors, freezing their payments and blacklisting them. The incident highlights the need for stricter vendor due diligence, data security, and monitoring to maintain user trust and a secure e-commerce environment.
